It could be few things cause this to happen.
1. You've insearted a damaged or a data corrupted dvd-r to your dvd drive.
2. Your disc is not clean, try to clean it with alcohol.
3. You dvd drive firmware/laser len has been corrupted due to too much cd/dvd reading.
4. You dvd drvie does not support DVD-R disc but do support DVD+R disc. Try insert a dvd+r see if it work.
5. Your DVD Drive need to clean it laser len with laser len cleaner.
I hope this helps you. Good Luck =]

You probably have the generic driver for CD drive. You need to install the firmware of your DVD ROM so that it will work properly.
